Monday 6/20/1969: Bill Monbouquette pitches 2-hit shutout against St. Louis
ST. LOUIS - Atlanta's right-hander Bill Monbouquette is clearly one of the best pitchers in the game. St. Louis found out the hard way, getting just 2 hits. Monbouquette 1st shutout this season was a masterpiece, as he was almost untouchable. He has now hurled 22nd shutouts in his career. The bid for a no-hitter was broken up when Alex George singled with one out in the 7th inning. Monbouquette (4-4) was overpowering, fanning 10 while walking 1, throwing 99 pitches. 'That was one of the best games of my career. I had my stuff working very well today.' Atlanta's centerfielder Steve Brye went 1 for 3, homering once, with 2 RBI. That was enough to support the brilliant performance of Monbouquette. Atlanta improved its record to 40-30, scoring 2 runs on 9 hits.
